It’s due out on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Xbox 360 (but not PS3) digitally on April 16th priced at £15.99 and then physically on Thursday April 17th (thus avoiding the public holiday on the 18th).

There will also be a £15.99 Season Pass that grants access to all six of the pre-planned DLC packs planned for release between the game’s arrival and April 15th 2015.

A big emphasis is being put on positioning the new game as a platform for the entire series going forwards, with developer RedLynx going all out to encourage similar levels of content and level creation that was offered by users of the last game.
